SCOTUS shoots down appeal of NY concealed carry restriction ruling, allowing gun law to still be enforced
Restrictions can continue to be enforced as litigation moves forward
By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News
The Supreme Court announced Wednesday that it would not entertain an injunction from New York gun store owners who were challenging the state's new restrictions on the concealed carrying of firearms.
In a one-sentence order, the court said it would not put enforcement of the law on hold, following its ruling last week that the restrictions can remain in place while litigation over the law moves forward.
"The application for writ of injunction presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is denied," the court said in its order. None of the justices dissented.
New York's law, the Concealed Carry Improvement Act, makes it a felony to possess a gun in "sensitive areas" like stadiums, houses of worship, museums, parks and public transit. It also requires people to undergo certain training in order to have a license.
